Frequently Asked Questions

Aurora Extreme features Australia’s first and only magnetic retention system, which uses powerful Neodymium magnets to keep the fabric taut and neat within the side channels. This ensures a smooth, flat, and clean appearance, even in extreme weather conditions.

If the fabric blows out of position, simply raise the external awning above the affected area and lower it completely. The powerful magnets will pull the fabric back into the channel, eliminating creases or folds without the need for a service call.

Aurora Extreme is available in widths up to 6.5 meters and drops up to 4 meters, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor spaces, including large patios or balconies.

Aurora Extreme uses Stance Fibreglass External Sunscreen fabric, which is durable and stays tight and beautiful at any interval during operation. This fabric provides excellent UV protection while maintaining visibility to the outside.
